Just a heads up I am slowly migrating my game to USSSA. I am now in line to play Huff N Puff. Looks like 2015 I'll be winning the Dudley. Helmer Who?

After you're pitching Wednesday, I would say you are ready to play Conference A with the nasty Utrip you were pitching in ASA.

I pitched once and it didn't bother me. If you want to hit at me, that's your deal. I'll make an attempt to field it.

This...if someone zips me and says "sorry" they usually get a wave and hear "no biggie"

I only have issues when it's intentional intent to injure or when the reaction to someone getting drilled is dooshy.

Appreciate the responses on the 'sorry pitch' ettiquette. You are mostly echoing what I already believed.

So, just want to plug my tournament in Siren, WI
Aug 1-3
C/D/E ASA rules/umps
$200 entry
double elim all one bracket
We supply the softballs (52 core)

It's Summerfest days in town so there is plenty more to do than just playing ball, even though softball is what really matters. Just reply on here or send a private message.

After I was Legend in coed my buddy and I took hacks with the USA Aftermath of Chucks.

When I first swung it... meh. Nothing impressive. Last night, granted it was a tad chillier than the first time, the bat was much much better. Still not on the same level as the aftermath. If you have one... be patient.

I swung Lucero's last night when we were waiting for our game to start. Liked the feel ..

have you guys started playing yet? IS the ice out of the lakes? Flooding receding? God I don't miss Minnesota....love the folks, hate the weather. Arizona was the best move I ever made...and softball year round!!!
Ok...I do miss hockey a lot...but after that...nothing else so much.

But you'll be at the co-ed tournament?

Nope, buddy tried to get in and Barnesy never responded. Then once he was looking for teams our people were out as half were coming from the La Crosse area.

You can find me on the bench area at Dred Scott wearing a bright neon yellow jersey.

anyone have a link for Krown's website?

I can get you Brad's email address if you'd like. I emailed him on the 10th, but I never heard back. Now I don't need an additional shirt anymore.

You'd look better in gold.

That would be great. Re-designing shirts for our team for the Alzheimer's Walk in September.

Anyone local have any interest in this beauty? 26oz probably about 100 hits or so on it. This bat gets me so much attention from the ladies and some guys that I must sell it in order to not compromise my marriage. $190 local with receipt dated March.

Ok, last week it was an issue about etiquette when hitting up the middle. Tonight I had a pitcher get rocked in the last game I was working. Totally unintentional and the guy who did it was very distraught and near tears the rest of the game. The ball glanced off the pitchers glove and nailed him square in the mouth. Had he not gotten his glove up, the ball have actually missed him or just grazed his cheek. But because he got his glove up enough to tip it, it went right to his mouth. It knocked 5 teeth out. I was expecting to see pieces of teeth on the ground, but it was entire teeth like they had been grabbed with a pliers and pulled out. They were completely knocked out from the bottom of their roots and still in tact. Well, at least the 3 that we found were. The guy said he was missing 5, but we only could find 3. And it's really weird trying to find teeth amongst the sunflower seed shells which are basically the same length and shape of an entire human tooth.

Floating rubber would be nice. I'd pitch from the max distance back. The issues I see are the pitchers that are spectators. Expect everything to be hit back at you
